Not… Wireless?

What kind of dillweed makes a bomb threat with no demands attached? That’s some real amateur hour stupidity, right there, unless there was a demand and it just wasn’t disclosed. 'Cause otherwise, there’s no point.

Law enforcement is going to get the target the hell out of the area and then find the bomb you just told them about, or not if there was in fact no bomb (which seems to be the case here), so either way your presumptive target is not going to get got no matter how you slice it.

Did he also eat sugar? Did you know Hitler ate sugar, too?

I’m using a Reverb G2 connected directly (which admittedly is the only way to use that headset).

I dunno. I can hop into the SteamVR overlay during gameplay just fine, or even pop up the dumb WMR menu and pin virtual desktop windows all over my game environment without issue. I have no idea what the bee in its bonnet is about. Based on my limited it experience it seems to show that warning to everybody regardless of all other external factors. There are people online with even more powerful rigs than mine complaining about it.

I wasn’t really fishing for a solution. I just find it deeply silly, and kind of amusing.

“Moooooom! They’re looking at me!!!”

Yar har, fiddle-dee-dee.

A lot of people in this sub just need a radicalization event.

When you back someone into a corner, chances are sooner or later they’re going to fight back.

I mean, if they want to go and taint every potential juror in the country they can go for it.

The point is you can theoretically assemble a functional Glock this way without leaving a paper trail. The lower (or frame, really) is the serial numbered part that carries all the Federal paperwork. You can mail order the rest of the parts without raising any eyebrows, do a bunch of assembly and fitting and tuning and fettling, and then wind up with a functional gun.

I will point out that this is actually legal to do on a Federal basis, although some states have since individually passed laws against it.

But just wait until I tell you that any moron can walk into a Bass Pro shops and buy a perfectly functional and lethal black powder cap-and-ball revolver in pretty much any state in the union with no paperwork. According to the ATF, they are not interested in classifying arms that do not used “fixed cartridge ammunition” a firearms at all (although most states do).

cheaply made 3D Printed gun

You could, if you were so inclined, make a rather nice 3D printed gun. Just saying.

that leaves no special marking on the bullet

No firearm on Earth actually does this, not even commercially made ones. The fantasy of “microstamping” has been just that, purest fantasy, ever since it was dreamed up by (I believe) some California legislators that were equally out of touch with reality. Forensic ballistic analysis does not work that way. In almost all cases, you cannot identify a gun by a recovered bullet or casing. You can, however, potentially match a casing or recovered bullet to a gun you already have in your possession.

and can only really be used once.

This is patently false, unless you suck at printing and assembling your gun.

They are made to be used for crimes and discarded quickly

Tons of people design and print their own guns purely as a hobby. Furthermore, before the advent of 3D printers plenty of people manufactured their own firearms without the aid of any such device – again, largely as a hobby or to have complete control over the manufacturing tolerances of their gun. Making highly tuned 1911 “race guns” for competition shooting is and was very popular, for instance.

That’s because there is a strong tradition of rights distribution for movies and TV being totally fucked up, and it has been since day 1 of both industries. Brought to you by the same motherfuckers who gave you Hollywood Accounting^tm, where a movie that cost $100 million to make and raked in $500 million at the box office somehow “didn’t turn a profit” and magically they don’t have to pay royalties to any of their writers or actors.

The rigidity of a bookshelf is almost completely a function of how firmly its backboard is attached. The usual flat-pack kind just has a backboard made out of a thin piece of particle board, and over time the little brad nails they give you with it waller out the holes they’re in and/or back out slightly, and the entire thing gets progressively more wiggly. You can either add more nails or just replace them with short wood screws.

My contributory general advice to anyone living in their first home/apartment/whatever is to get a cordless drill and a set of bits for it. Not just drill bits for making holes, but also screwdriver tips. It is amazing the number of things you can find to use it on, and how much less annoyed you will be when some piece of furniture, fixture, or other gizmo requires removing or installing approximately 127,000 screws and you don’t have to do it by hand anymore.

Here is Great A’Tuin, the world turtle. Its meteor-pocked shell dwarfing continents, flippers paddling the interstellar void with the slowness and inevitability a glacier. Swimming through space, its city sized eyes fixed on a distant point forever unknown.

I cannot wait to see how long it takes for this to backfire in a spectacularly high profile and entirely predictable manner.

“Incoming Memo: Stand by to receive memo?”

Posting tons of links to Lemmy posts, for one.

Wait, so I’m a bot, too?

Ah, I see. This explains so much.

In that case your M600 macro is probably misconfigured.

M600 is not a command, per se. It’s a macro that runs a set of discrete steps including moving the print head to the park position and rewinds the filament out of the extruder by some amount at a specified speed. It’s likely your nasty 'orrible noises are either the belts slipping over your drive gears via trying to move the print head out of bounds, or the extruder failing to extract and grinding its wheels against the filament.

Aerostats. Once again, Neal Stephenson already called it.
